2、ades can reflect students ability in their academic pursuit. In their eyes, the higher the grades, the smarter the students must be.

3、ed. Others think that high grades dont necessary mean superior ability.

12、bon life has been a hot topic. Living a low-carbon life is virtually of great significance to the protection of our environment because it can help reduce our environment pollution and slow down global warming.Living a low-carbon life means energy saving and pollutants reduction (mainly carbon dioxi
13、de). It is the responsibility of both the government and the public. Of course, the government should carry out a low-carbon economy (policy) by promoting the use of clean energy and renewable energy, such as solar energy, wind energy, water energy, encouraging the planting of more tress because tre

For the general public, living a low-carbon life means energy saving: water saving, gas saving and “green” travel and so on. Every small deed counts in our efforts to protect our earth. As college students, w
15、e should spare no effort to enhance the consciousness of the public to live a low-carbon life. Besides, we can and should do many other things.

18、认为让孩子上培训班是为了对孩子进行素质教育，以适应充满激烈竞争的未来社会。2. 有人认为让孩子上培训班加重了孩子的身心负担，不宜提倡。3. 谈谈你的观点。My View on Training Courses for ChildrenIn present China, especially in cities, most of the younger parents would like to send their children to various kinds of training courses to learn painting, dancing, piano playing, c
19、alligraphy, etc. These parents hold the view that they are cultivating their children in a well rounded way. They believe that the future society is bound to be more competitive, and only those gifted in many ways can fit into it.Some other parents, however, do not think so. They are against their c
20、hildren taking part in such courses. They think childhood is a period of freedom from any care. The various training courses are nothing but a burden for children. Adults shouldnt place additional burden on them; otherwise, their physical and mental development will be hindered.I am inclined to the
21、former view because I know that young couples in China today each have only one child. They can afford the time and money to train their child in various aspects, and most of them want their child to be a talented person able to establish himself in his future career. But I think those young parents
22、 should remember two points: dont force their child to do what he or she has no interest in; and dont let their child “eat” too much that he or she is not able to digest. Test 5Part Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Censorship,
23、Is It Necessary or Not? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1有些人说审查制度很有必要，因为大众媒体上有太多不良内容；2有些人则说这样妨碍了信息自由。3你持何种观点？Censorship, Is It Necessary or Not?Nowadays, people can get access to almost any information from various sources including TV, films, books or the Inter
24、net, but some harmful information threatens the next generations development and even social security. Hence a question arises whether there should be censorship of information in society or not. In my opinion, information censorship is necessary but it should be carried out to the right limit or de
25、gree since it has both advantages and disadvantages. To begin with, information censorship helps protect children from excessive violence and obscene materials. Children cannot tell what is right or wrong and what is real or unreal. They are easily influenced by misinformation and unhealthy informat
26、ion. Therefore, we should keep inappropriate materials out of their reach by means of censorship. At the same time, such some information or materials as those demonstrate and encourage racism, violence or terrorism are extremely harmful to society and they should be banned from the public ear and e
27、ye. Otherwise serious social problems will be caused and social security might be threatened. So many people call for governmental regulation of monitoring the materials. However, people do have the right of free speech and free press. Many of them believe that it is not fair to limit the public rig
28、ht of getting informed and to damage the atmosphere of free expression of ideas just for childrens sake. In their mind, parental guidance is a better measure than censorship to monitor what children see or read. Furthermore, most adults use information for communication and exchange instead of evil
29、purposes like sexual gratification. They should have the freedom to access different information sources and decide what to accept and what to reject.In conclusion, parents should strictly control what their children watch or read, and the government should censor childrens books, films and websites
30、 to screen harmful information. On the other hand, since it is peoples right to choose what they want to know, the government should not cut off benign information through censorship.

31、 Craze for Dual Degrees. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1. 目前越来越多的大学生热衷于修双学位。2. 这种现象出现的原因是3. 我的看法。Craze for Dual DegreesRecently, there has been a craze for studying for dual degrees among undergraduates. For example, English majors may also major in economics,
32、 and some students can work for majors in both politics and law. In this way, they can be awarded double bachelors degrees when they graduate from the university several years later.Why has studying for dual degrees gained popularity with college students? Three factors may weigh heavily for it. The
33、 phenomenon first should be attributed to improved teaching facilities and methods in universities. Nowadays, more and more universities boast of their rich teaching resources, which make it possible for them to offer dual-degree programs. Secondly, studying for another different but perhaps relevan
34、t major can make their study in university more colorful, enrich students knowledge, and hence a better knowledge structure. The last and also most important contributing factor is fierce competition in the workforce market. With the job market being increasingly competitive, people of multiple skil
35、ls are given preference to, and so those who have two majors are at an advantage over others when they graduate. However, one point should be born in mind that not all universities and students are suitable for dual-degree programs. If the universities lack the necessary facilities and cannot guaran
36、tee the teaching quality and if the students have difficulty even in their first major, it is not advisable to carry out the dual-degree program.

37、 least 120 words following the outline given below:1. 独生子女政策为中国人口控制起到了积极作用；2. 独生子女政策也产生了副作用；3. 在你看来，是否需要修订并放宽独生子女政策？ One Child PolicyAs a country with huge population, China has carried out the One-Child Policy with strong determination for about three decades. It is widely acknowledged that this is
38、 a very effective policy in birth control, only with several side effects.First of all, the population in main-land China has become aging, which is going to bring a heavier burden to the young people. As the only child in a family, they have no siblings to share the responsibility of taking care of
39、 aging parents. Furthermore, there will be more and more retired people with less and less wording people, which will also cause a problem to the whole society. By the way, in many families with only one child, it is more likely for the parents to indulge their child. The spoiled children often beco
40、me less responsible for both family and the society. Therefore, voices of revising the One-child Policy arise recently. But I dont think it is the right time for revising, because we still have a big population and we may need to do more research on how serious the aging problem is, and what we can
41、do to deal with it. Test 8Part Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Living in or out of Campus?.

42、t of Campus?Nowadays college students are allowed to live alone off campus. Some people still take it for granted that college students should live on campus where they can learn from each other. They often neglect the fact that living in such small, noisy, crowded, inconvenient and simply furnished
43、 dormitories restricts the students freedom, hinders their individual character development, and cuts off the students from the latest happenings of the world. Therefore, my attitude for living off campus is positive. The reasons are just as follows.First, it benefits my study. I can stay up as late
44、 as I want. I can read aloud, listening to the tapes to practice my listening skills, and even learn things through Internet surfing. Whats more, it broadens my social life. I can meet my parents, relatives, and friends freely, and invite them to my place. I can even practice my cooking skills. And
45、at least, living alone off campus provides necessary privacy for me. I can enjoy a comfortable, convenient and independent life. I dont need to worry about bringing inconvenience to others and vice versa.In conclusion, its really nice living alone off campus because there are so many advantages. If
46、you have enough financial support, you can try this appealing way of college life.Test 9Part Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Say No to Drunk Driving.
